Allium 'Summer Beauty' WW32 Mountain Garlic T1-

Allium 'Summer Beauty' WW32 Mountain Garlic T1- (Diblik) Mountain Garlic, Mature plant size: 20in., PINK, USDA Hardiness Zone 5-7, Michigan Bloom Week ISO WW31, In Garden Bed T1 for 84 DAYS (Prielipp). Planted in 2022.

 

Missouri Botanical Garden: Allium lusitanicum, Easily grown in average, dry to medium moisture, well-drained soils in full sun to part shade. Performs well in sandy soils. Add sand to clay soils as needed to improve drainage. Best in full sun, but appreciates some light afternoon shade in hot summer climates. Tolerates a wide range of soils. Although this allium is a true bulb (albeit weakly developed) on a rhizome, it forms a clump which can be lifted and divided somewhat easily in either spring or fall. It will spread in the landscape by short fleshy rhizomes or by self-seeding. Deadheading spent umbels before seed set not only helps control unwanted spread but also helps build a stronger bloom for the following year.

 

Developed by Roy Diblik of Northwind Perennial Farm.

aka Allium lusitanicum ‘Summer Beauty’.
